Hands Down

 

My hands are killing me. All that cleaning and hauling and wringing has done so much damage to my poor old fingers. It's been a real pain to knit again but I did get the body of Number 8 done. 



I could only work with those tiny needles for a few minutes at a time so I drug out my Audun squares and hooked a couple in between knitting sessions. It took me a while to catch on to this again. I ripped out more than I got finished.



The best part of doing any of this is listening to my audiobooks again. I managed to pile up 5 credits I needed to use so I bought a bunch of cozy mysteries to get me through the summer. I made good use of one of them yesterday when I came down with a nasty migraine. My eyes were out of commission but my ears were working perfectly.

  1. Those squares are so pretty - they are an Arne and Carlos pattern, right?

  2. Oh, the body lets you know when it is in overload! I agree, I am very grateful for audio books!

  3. Hope you feel much better today! Migraines are the pits. Is that a sock you are knitting? It looks complicated. Ripping must be in the air; I've been doing it a lot, too.

  4. Oh Debbie, I'm sorry about your hands. I can only imagine how painful they are, and then a migraine on top of it all. I love my audio books too. I've thought about audible, but so far I've been able to get all I want from the library for free!
    Loving the crochet and that sweet little sweater.
    Blessings,
    Betsy

  5. What do you think of the Karbonz needles? Every set I've ever bought has a snaggy bit on one of the needles. :::sigh::: Hope the migraine goes away soon.
